WHINO Battle Royale

Eight artists.
Three words.
Your room decides.

A live art battle built for a crowd. Artists paint to three random words against the clock, every phone in the room votes, and the paintings go home with your guests.

How a night runs

A tournament, not a demonstration.

Three words drop

Drawn live in front of the room. Nobody — not even the artists — knows them in advance.

40 minutes to paint

Head to head on easels, in the middle of your floor, with a clock everyone can see.

The room votes

Guests scan a QR and vote from their own phone. Nothing to download, no sign-up, five minutes to decide.

Winners advance

Quarter-finals, semis, final. The last painting of the night is the one the whole room stayed for.

What we bring

You provide the room. We provide the night.

The artists

A vetted roster

Working painters who can finish a real piece in forty minutes with an audience watching. That is a specific skill, and we book for it.

The format

A bracket that builds

Rounds, a running clock, an MC and a reveal. The room gets louder as the field narrows — the final draws the biggest vote of the night.

The tech

Voting that just works

Our own platform, built and proven at live events: QR to ballot in seconds, live results on screen, and every number afterwards.

Proof

Celebration of the Arts, Capital One Center.

The final drew 2.7× the votes of the opening round. Two nights, September 2026 — the room grew as the night went on rather than drifting to the bar.

Eight artists, fourteen head-to-head duels, twenty-eight canvases and six paintings sold off the easel. Every figure is published.
